Being assigned the subject, organ transplants, I realized very quickly that this.
Does this mean animal to human transplants, (there's no way I.
am going to get into the rights of animals on this one) artificial organ transplants, living.
donor transplants or partial transplants, such as bone marrow and fetal brain cells, cloning.
body parts to make them available for transplant or transplants from a cadaver. I decided.
in order to write a productive paper I would need to focus on one or two areas I have.
chosen human transplants as I know someone personally who has had to deal with this.
Science and technology have advanced a long way since the first transplant. Limb.
transplants have become the newest frontier in medical transplants. .
Transplants are not always used to just save lives but many times transplants are.
done to make the quality of life better for the recipient . "About 25 human organs can.
now be transplanted and the list is growing daily. The most commonly performed.
transplantations are the kidney, cornea, and bone marrow transplants" (The Volume.
Library 1034).
Kidneys for transplantation may be obtained from living donors or cadavers; other.
organs can be obtained only from cadavers. Organs from cadavers must be obtained very.
soon after death; they may, however, subsequently be preserved for some hours by cooling.
and other procedures. .
Liver transplantation is technically very difficult, and the transplant must begin to.
function at once if the patient is to survive, since there is no satisfactory artificial liver. On.
the other hand, rejection is more easily prevented in a kidney transplant .
I am sure you remember the series of Frankenstein movies that were once out. In.
case you don't know, Dr. Frankenstein collected body parts from several different.
cadavers to make a super human. Many refer to organ transplantation as Dr.
Frankenstein Method of saving lives. Their point being that it is ghoulish to take a body.
